Cycling Rain Jacket - men's and women's - £14.99

Available in a men's fit (in yellow) or women's fit (blue), this rain jacket will set you back just £14.99. It's got elasticated cuffs to stop cold air travelling up your arms, and a high collar. The description says it's "wind and waterproof". With our extensive experience in cycling clothing, we would suggest that it's more likely to be water resistant meaning, it will keep the worst off. What we won't dispute is that this is a very good price.

Rechargeable Silicone Lights £7.99

These are simple blinker bike lights, designed to ensure that you are seen - they will not help you see on unlit roads, like the best bike lights. However, if you're after a set of simple blinkers, or a backup set of lights, these are a great buy.

Crane jersey - men's and women's - £9.99

Cycling jerseys can make riding more comfortable, when compared with donning a basic technical t-shirt, because they're cut to fit well on the bike, provide pockets for storing snacks and inner tubes, and can be partially unzipped if you get hot. This jersey is constructed from breathable, quick drying material and is a great entry into dedicated cycling clothing.
